As announced this past spring, Adobe will be disabling serialized installations of Creative Cloud software by November 16, 2019. For more information and a guide to whether this change will affect you, you can view our previous post. For even more information, Adobe will be presenting an IT roundtable on the topic.

Event details from Adobe

Join us on October 16th for a conversation with Adobe’s James Lockman, Ruby Sze and Lori DeFurio about serial number expiration. The team will cover how to check if you have expiring serial numbers and what you need to do to ensure you don’t lose access to Adobe apps and services you rely on.

Additionally, Adobe has announced a redesign of the Creative Cloud desktop app.

Redesign details from Adobe

The Creative Cloud desktop application has been redesigned, from the ground up, to be a more intuitive way to access apps, update them, and discover other apps that complement or extend creativity. Creative Cloud desktop also provides new levels of power and control over Creative Cloud Libraries as well as easier access to help content along with comprehensive search and asset management features. In short, it’s the portal to your Creative Cloud world and makes it easier than ever to get to the tools, assets, and content you need, when you need them.
